Nottingham Forest are linked to Leeds United’s Liam Bridcutt.

Nottingham Forest fans have welcomed links to Leeds United midfield ace Liam Bridcutt.

The Nottingham Post report Mark Warburton is weighing up a move for the Scotland international, who has been out of favour at Elland Road early on this season.

Bridcutt has slipped down to fifth choice centre midfielder under new boss Thomas Christiansen and has only one year remaining on his contract.

Despite a relatively good start to the campaign Forest are still looking to strengthen and put together a side capable of challenging for promotion.

The Whites may regret letting Bridcutt leave, but if he is only regarded as a back-up then they could take a pragmatic view to cash in.
